NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
11
12
CHANGES:
13
14
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
15
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
16
17
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
18
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
19
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
20
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
21
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
22
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
23
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
24
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
25
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
26
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
27
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
28
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
29
(Robert Collins)
30
31
FEATURES:
32
33
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
34
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
35
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
36
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
37
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developers/knitpack.html
38
for further details. (Robert Collins)
39
40
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
41
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
42
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
43
(Robert Collins)
44
45
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
46
47
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
48
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
49
50
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
51
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
52
(Aaron Bentley)
53
54
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
55
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
56
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
57
58
PERFORMANCE:
59
60
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
61
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
62
63
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
64
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
65
66
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
67
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
68
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
69
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
70
71
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
72
(Robert Collins)
73
74
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
75
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
76
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
77
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
78
79
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
80
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
81
82
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
83
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
84
85
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
86
the contents. (Robert Collins)
87
88
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
89
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
90
91
IMPROVEMENTS:
92
93
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
94
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
95
96
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
97
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
98
99
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
100
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
101
102
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
103
(Martin Pool, #63894)
104
105
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
106
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
107
108
DOCUMENTATION:
109
110
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
111
112
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
113
(Ian Clatworthy)
114
115
BUG FIXES:
116
117
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
118
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
119
120
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
121
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
122
123
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
124
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
125
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
126
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
127
128
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
129
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
130
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
131
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
132
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
133
134
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
135
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
136
paramiko.
137
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
138
139
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
140
141
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
142
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
143
144
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
145
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
146
147
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
148
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
149
150
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
151
contains a symbolic link.
152
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
153
154
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
155
(James Westby, #140615)
156
157
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
158
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
159
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
160
161
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
162
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
163
(Martin Pool, #144633)
164
165
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
166
167
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
168
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
169
170
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
171
will remain opened.
172
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
173
174
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
175
directory to detect leaking tests.
176
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
177
178
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
179
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
180
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
181
182
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
183
(Rob Weir, #141629)
184
185
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
186
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
187
188
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
189
Merwe)
190
191
API BREAKS:
192
193
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
194
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
195
196
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
197
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
198
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
199
200
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
201
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
202
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
203
204
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
205
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
206
207
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
208
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
209
210
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
211
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
212
(Martin Pool)
213
214
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
215
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
216
217
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
218
class that needs it.
219
(Martin Pool)
220
221
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
222
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
223
224
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
225
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
226
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
227
228
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
229
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
230
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
231
(Robert Collins)
232
233
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
234
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
235
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
236
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
237
(Robert Collins)
238
239
INTERNALS:
240
241
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
242
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
243
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
244
245
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
246
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
247
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
248
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
249
250
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
251
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
252
(Robert Collins)
253
254
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
255
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
256
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
257
258
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
259
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
260
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
261
262
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
263
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
264
265
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
266
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
267
to complete. (Robert Collins)
268
269
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
270
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
271
272
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
273
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
274
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
275
276
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
277
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
278
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
279
280
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
281
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
282
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
283
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
284
285
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
286
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
287
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
288
returned. (Robert Collins)
289
290
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
291
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
292
293
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
294
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
295
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
296
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
297
(Robert Collins)
298
299
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
300
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
301
302
TESTING:
303
304
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
305
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
306
307
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
308
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
309
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
310
makes this behavior available to other users.
311
(Martin Pool)
312
313
314
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
315
===================
316
317
BUG FIXES:
318
319
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
320
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
321
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
322
323
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
324
325
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
326
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
327
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
328
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
329
330
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
331
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
332
(Andrew Bennetts)
333
334
335
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
336
======================
337
338
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
339
in bzrlib/remote.py.
340
341
342
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
343
======================
344
345
CHANGES:
346
347
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
348
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
349
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
350
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
351
(Martin Pool)
352
353
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
354
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
355
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
356
(Ian Clatworthy)
357
358
FEATURES:
359
360
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
361
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
362
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
363
(Lukáš Lalinský)
364
365
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
366
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
367
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
368
369
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
370
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
371
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
372
373
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
374
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
375
376
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
377
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
378
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
379
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
380
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
381
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
382
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
383
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
384
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
385
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
386
387
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
388
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
389
390
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
391
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
392
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
393
394
BUG FIXES:
395
396
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
397
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
398
399
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
400
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
401
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
402
403
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
404
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
405
406
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
407
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
408
409
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
410
(Aaron Bentley)
411
412
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
413
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
414
415
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
416
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
417
418
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
419
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
420
421
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
422
(Blake Winton, #129299)
423
424
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
425
426
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
427
Watkins, #106726)
428
429
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
430
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
431
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
432
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
433
434
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
435
436
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
437
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
438
#133548)
439
440
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
441
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
442
443
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
444
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
445
#116143)
446
447
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
448
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
449
450
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
451
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
452
453
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
454
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
455
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
456
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
457
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
458
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
459
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
460
461
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
462
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
463
464
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
465
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
466
467
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
468
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
469
470
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
471
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
472
473
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
474
connections.
475
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
476
477
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
478
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
479
480
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
481
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
482
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
483
484
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
485
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
486
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
487
488
IMPROVEMENTS:
489
490
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
491
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
492
493
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
494
(Aaron Bentley)
495
496
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
497
(Aaron Bentley)
498
499
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
500
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
501
502
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
503
504
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
505
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
506
507
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
508
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
509
510
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
511
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
512
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
513
space). (Robert Collins)
514
515
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
516
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
517
(Ian Clatworthy)
518
519
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
520
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
521
522
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
523
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
524
525
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
526
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
527
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
528
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
529
530
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
531
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
532
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
533
(Lukáš Lalinský)
534
535
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
536
(Ian Clatworthy)
537
538
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
539
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
540
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
541
542
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
543
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
544
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
545
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
546
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
547
548
API BREAKS:
549
550
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
551
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
552
553
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
554
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
555
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
556
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
557
affected. (Robert Collins)
558
559
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
560
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
561
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
562
(Robert Collins)
563
564
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
565
previous release. (Martin Pool)
566
567
TESTING:
568
569
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
570
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
571
572
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
573
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
574
575
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
576
previous release. (Martin Pool)
577
578
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
579
(Aaron Bentley)
580
581
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
582
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
583
584
INTERNALS:
585
586
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
587
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
588
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
589
its version information. (Robert Collins)
590
591
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
592
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
593
594
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
595
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
596
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
597
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
598
599
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
600
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
601
present. (Robert Collins)
602
603
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
604
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
605
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
606
API. (Robert Collins)
607
608
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
609
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
610
(Robert Collins)
611
612
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
613
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
614
615
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
616
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
617
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
618
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
619
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
620
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
621
622
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
623
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
624
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
625
626
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
627
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
628
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
629
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
630
protocol.
631
632
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
633
(Aaron Bentley)
634
635
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
636
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
637
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
638
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
639
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
640
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
641
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
642
643
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
644
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
645
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
646
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
647
648
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
649
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
650
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
651
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
652
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
653
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
654
655
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
656
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
657
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
658
659
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
660
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
661
662
663
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
664
===================
665
666
IMPROVEMENTS:
667
668
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
669
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
670
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
671
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
672
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
673
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
674
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
675
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
676
677
678
API CHANGES:
679
680
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
681
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
682
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
683
684
685
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
686
======================
687
688
BUGFIXES:
689
690
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
691
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
692
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
693
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
694
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
695
696
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
697
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
698
699
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
700
anymore.
701
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
702
703
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
704
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
705
(Vincent Ladeuil)
706
707
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
708
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
709
#111664)
710
711
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
712
(Lukáš Lalinský)
713
714
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
715
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
716
717
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
718
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
719
720
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
721
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
722
723
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
724
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
725
726
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
727
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
728
729
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
730
(Aaron Bentley)
731
732
IMPROVEMENTS:
733
734
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
735
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
736
737
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
738
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
739
740
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
741
the repository (Robert Collins)
742
743
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
744
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
745
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
746
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
747
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
748
749
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
750
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
751
752
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
753
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
754
(John Arbash Meinel)
755
756
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
757
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
758
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
759
about 10%).
760
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
761
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
762
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
763
(John Arbash Meinel)
764
765
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
766
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
767
(Robert Collins)
768
769
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
770
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
771
772
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
773
(Ian Clatworthy)
774
775
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
776
777
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
778
779
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
780
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
781
782
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
783
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
784
Meinel)
785
786
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
787
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
788
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
789
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
790
791
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
792
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
793
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
794
795
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
796
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
797
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
798
799
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
800
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
801
802
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
803
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
804
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
805
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
806
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
807
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
808
(Ian Clatworthy)
809
810
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
811
(Alexander Belchenko)
812
813
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
814
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
815
816
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
817
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
818
819
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
820
821
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
822
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
823
824
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
825
826
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
827
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
828
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
829
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
830
831
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
832
833
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
834
(Robert Collins)
835
836
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
837
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
838
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
839
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
840
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
841
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
842
843
INTERNALS:
844
845
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
846
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
847
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
848
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
849
850
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
851
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
852
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
853
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
854
tests have been refactored too.
855
(Vincent Ladeuil)
856
857
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
858
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
859
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
860
list, it will.
861
(Vincent Ladeuil)
862
863
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
864
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
865
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
866
867
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
868
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
869
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
870
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
871
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
872
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
873
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
874
875
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
876
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
877
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
878
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
879
(John Arbash Meinel)
880
881
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
882
functionality for testing.
883
884
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
885
886
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
887
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
888
889
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
890
891
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
892
(Robert Collins)
893
894
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
895
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
896
897
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
898
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
899
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
900
901
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
902
(Aaron Bentley)
903
904
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
905
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
906
907
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
908
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
909
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
910
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
911
912
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
913
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
914
915
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
916
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
917
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
918
919
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
920
(Marius Kruger)
921
922
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
923
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
924
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
925
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
926
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
927
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
928
929
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
930
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
931
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
932
many files. (Robert Collins)
933
934
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
935
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
936
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
937
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
938
939
TESTING:
940
941
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
942
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
943
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
944
945
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
946
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
947
948
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
949
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
950
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

962
=======================
963
964
BUGFIXES:
965
966
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
967
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
968
969
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
970
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
971
(James Westby, #122656)
972
973
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
974
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
975
976
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
977
authentication header.
978
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
979
980
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
981
982
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
983
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
984
985
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
986
987
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
988
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
989
990
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
991
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
992
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
993
994
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
995
individually and as part of revision ranges.
996
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
997
998
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
999
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1000
1001
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1002
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1003
1004
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1005
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1006
1007
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1008
1009
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1010
1011
IMPROVEMENTS:
1012
1013
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1014
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1015
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1016
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1017
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1018
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1019
1020
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1021
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1022
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1023
1024
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1025
(Elliot Murphy)
1026
1027
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1028
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1029
1030
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1031
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1032
1033
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1034
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1035
1036
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1037
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1038
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1039
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1040
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1041
1042
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1043
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1044
1045
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1046
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1047
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1048
1049
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1050
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1051
1052
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1053
1054
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1055
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1056
1057
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1058
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1059
(Robert Collins)
1060
1061
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1062
(Martin Pool)
1063
1064
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1065
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1066
1067
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1068
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1069
1070
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1071
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1072
1073
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1074
1075
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1076
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1077
1078
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1079
(Andrew Bennetts)
1080
1081
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1082
1083
* Testing cleanups -
1084
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1085
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1086
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1087
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1088
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1089
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1090
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1091
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1092
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1093
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1094
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1095
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1096
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1097
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1098
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1099
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1100
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1101
(Robert Collins)
1102
1103
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1104
1105
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1106
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1107
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1108
1109
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1110
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1111
1112
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1113
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1114
1115
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1116
1117
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1118
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1119
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1120
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1121
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1122
same location. (Robert Collins)
1123
1124
INTERNALS:
1125
1126
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1127
1128
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1129
1130
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1131
1132
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1133
(Martin Pool)
1134
1135
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1136
(Martin Pool)
1137
1138
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1139
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1140
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1141
1142
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1143
1144
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1145
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1146
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1147
1148
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1149
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1150
1151
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1152
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1153
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1154
1155
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1156
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1157
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1158
1159
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1160
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1161
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1162
1163
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1164
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1165
Martin Pool)
1166
1167
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1168
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1169
1170
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1171
(Alexander Belchenko)
1172
1173
TESTING:
1174
1175
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1176
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1177
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1178
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1179
1180
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1181
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1182
testing. (Robert Collins)
1183
1184
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1185
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1186
1187
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1188
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1189
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1190
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1191
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1192
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1193
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1194
1195
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1196
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1197
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1198
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1199
1200
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1201
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1202
1203
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1204
avoid useless cloning.

1223
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1224
1225
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1226
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1227
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1228
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1229
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1230
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1231
and unlock() like so::
1232
1233
work_tree.lock_read()
1234
try:
1235
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1236
finally:
1237
work_tree.unlock()
1238
1239
INTERNALS:
1240
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1241
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1242
object.
1243
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1244
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1245
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1246
1247
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1248
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1249
too. (Robert Collins)
1250
1251
IMPROVEMENTS:
1252
1253
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1254
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1255
Aaron Bentley)
1256
1257
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1258
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1259
1260
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1261
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1262
1263
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1264
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1265
understanding what changes have occurred
1266
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1267
1268
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1269
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1270
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1271
1272
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1273
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1274
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1275
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1276
1277
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1278
#56322)
1279
1280
BUGFIXES:
1281
1282
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1283
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1284
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1285
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1286
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1287
1288
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1289
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1290
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1291
1292
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1293
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1294
1295
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1296
into account.
1297
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1298
1299
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1300
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1301
1302
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1303
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1304
1305
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1306
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1307
1308
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1309
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1310
1311
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1312
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1313
1314
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1315
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1316
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

BUGFIXES:
1322
1323
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1324
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1325
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1326
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1327
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1328
1329
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1330
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1331
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1332
1333
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1334
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1335
1336
IMPROVEMENTS:
1337
1338
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1339
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1340
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1341
1342
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1343
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1344
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of

both. (John Arbash Meinel)

1352
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1353
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1354
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1355
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1356
1357
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1358
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.

1366
1367
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1374
1375
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1376
it could be recovered again.
1377
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1378
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1379
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1380
but not delete it.
1381
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1382
files.
1383
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1384
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1385
1386
IMPROVEMENTS:
1387
1388
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1389
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1390
1391
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1392
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1393
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1394
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1395
1396
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1397
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1398
1399
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1400
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1401
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1402
1403
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1404
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1405
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1406
1407
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1408
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1409
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1410
1411
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1412
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1413
Robert Collins)
1414
1415
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1416
Pool)
1417
1418
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1419
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1420
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1421
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1422
1423
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1424
(Robert Collins)
1425
1426
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1427
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1428
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1429
(Robert Collins)
1430
1431
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1432
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1433
1434
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1435
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1436
1437
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1438
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1439
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1440
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1441
(Robert Collins)
1442
1443
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1444
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1445
1446
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1447
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1448
1449
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1450
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1451
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1452
1453
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1454
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1455
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1456
1457
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1458
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1459
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1460
1461
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1462
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1463
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1464
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1465
1466
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1467
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1468
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1469
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1470
1471
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1472
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1473
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1474
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1475
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1476
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1477
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1478
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1479
header(s).
1480
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1481
1482
INTERNALS:
1483
1484
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1485
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1486
1487
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1488
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1489
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1490
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1491
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1492
1493
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1494
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1495
1496
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1497
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1498
1499
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1500
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1501
1502
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1503
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1504
1505
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1506
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1507
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1508
(Robert Collins).
1509
1510
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1511
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1512
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1513
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1514
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1515
(Robert Collins)
1516
1517
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1518
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1519
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1520
1521
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1522
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1523
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1524
1525
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1526
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1527
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1528
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1529
1530
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1531
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1532
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1533
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1534
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1535
1536
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1537
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1538
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1539
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1540
1541
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1542
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1543
1544
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1545
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1546
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1547
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1548
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1549
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1550
1551
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1552
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1553
1554
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1555
help. (Robert Collins)
1556
1557
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1558
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1559
1560
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1561
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1562
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1563
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1564
(John Arbash Meinel)
1565
1566
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1567
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1568
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1569
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1570
useful. (Robert Collins)
1571
1572
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1573
(Andrew Bennetts)
1574
1575
BUGFIXES:
1576
1577
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1578
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1579
1580
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1581
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1582
1583
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1584
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1585
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1586
1587
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1588
(Aaron Bentley)
1589
1590
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1591
the file, and does it faster.
1592
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1593
1594
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1595
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1596
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1597
1598
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1599
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1600
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1601
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1602
1603
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1604
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1605
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1606
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1607
1608
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1609
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1610
1611
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1612
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1613
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1614
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1615
Arbash Meinel)
1616
1617
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1618
1619
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1620
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1621
1622
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1623
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1624
1625
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1626
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1627
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1628
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1629
security hole.
1630
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1631
1632
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1633
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1634
1635
TESTING:
1636
1637
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1638
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1639
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1640
1641
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1642
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1643
1644
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1645
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1646
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1647
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1648
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1649
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1650
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1651
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1652
1653
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1654
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1655
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1656
1657
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1658
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1659
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1660
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1661
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1662
access.
1663
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1664
1665
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1666
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1667
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1668
1669
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1670
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

1688
CHANGES:
1689
1690
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1691
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1692
(Martin Pool)
1693
1694
IMPROVEMENTS:
1695
1696
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1697
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1698
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1699
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1700
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1701
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1702
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1703
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1704
path. (vila)
1705
1706
INTERNALS:
1707
1708
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1709
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1710
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1711
1712
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1713
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1714
(Martin Pool)
1715
1716
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1717
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1718
(John Arbash Meinel)
1719
1720
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1721
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1722
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1723
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1724
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1725
1726
BUGFIXES:
1727
1728
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1729
(vila, #92195)
1730
1731
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1732
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1733
1734
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1735
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1736
1737
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1738
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1739
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1740
1741
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1742
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1743
1744
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1745
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1746
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1747
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1748
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1749
1750
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1751
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1752
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1753
1754
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

1758
=======================
1759
1760
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1761
1762
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1763
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1764
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1765
1766
IMPROVEMENTS:
1767
1768
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1769
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1770
1771
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1772
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1773
1774
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1775
1776
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1777
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1778
1779
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1780
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1781
1782
INTERNALS:
1783
1784
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1785
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1786
1787
BUGFIXES:
1788
1789
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1790
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1791
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1792
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1793
1794
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1795
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1796
1797
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1798
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1799
1800
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1801
(Marien Zwart)
1802
1803
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1808
=======================
1809
1810
SURPRISES:
1811
1812
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1813
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1814
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1815
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1816
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1817
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1818
1819
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1820
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1821
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1822
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1823
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1824
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1825
development.
1826
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1827
1828
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1829
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1830
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1831
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1832
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1833
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1834
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1835
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1836
1837
IMPROVEMENTS:
1838
1839
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1840
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1841
1842
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1843
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1844
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1845
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1846
does exist.
1847
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1848
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1849
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1850
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1851
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1852
1853
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1854
(Aaron Bentley)
1855
1856
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1857
(Aaron Bentley)
1858
1859
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1860
(Robert Collins)
1861
1862
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1863
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1864
(Aaron Bentley)
1865
1866
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1867
(Aaron Bentley)
1868
1869
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1870
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1871
1872
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1873
directory. (Martin Pool)
1874
1875
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1876
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1877
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1878
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1879
1880
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1881
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1882
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1883
in docs/configuration.txt.
1884
1885
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1886
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1887
bind location.
1888
1889
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1890
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1891
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1892
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1893
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1894
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1895
1896
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1897
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1898
1899
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1900
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1901
1902
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1903
(Aaron Bentley)
1904
1905
INTERNALS:
1906
1907
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1908
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1909
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1910
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1911
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1912
(John Arbash Meinel)
1913
1914
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1915
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1916
(Aaron Bentley)
1917
1918
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1919
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1920
(John Arbash Meinel)
1921
1922
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1923
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1924
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1925
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1926
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1927
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1928
1929
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1930
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1931
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1932
1933
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1934
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1935
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1936
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1937
repository.
1938
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1939
1940
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1941
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1942
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1943
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1944
1945
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1946
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1947
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1948
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1949
1950
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1951
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1952
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1953
1954
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1955
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1956
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1957
1958
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1959
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1960
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1961
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1962
1963
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1964
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1965
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1966
1967
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1968
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1969
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1970
1971
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1972
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1973
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1974
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1975
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1976
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1977
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1978
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1979
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1980
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1981
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1982
1983
BUGFIXES:
1984
1985
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1986
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1987
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1988
1989
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1990
(Aaron Bentley)
1991
1992
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1993
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1994
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1995
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1996
1997
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1998
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1999
#83954).
2000
2001
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2002
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2003
2004
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2005
2006
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2007
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2008
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2009
2010
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2011
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2012
2013
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2014
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2015
2016
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2017
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2018
2019
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2020
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2021
2022
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2023
2024
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2025
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2026

TESTING:
2028
2029

====================
2035
2036
IMPROVEMENTS:
2037
2038
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2039
2040
BUG FIXES:
2041
2042
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2043
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2044
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2045
2046
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2047
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2048
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

2050
2051
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2052
=======================
2053
2054
IMPROVEMENTS:
2055
2056
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2057
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2058
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2059
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2060
2061
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2062
(Marius Kruger)
2063
2064
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2065
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2066
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2067
2068
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2069
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2070
2071
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2072
(Aaron Bentley)
2073
2074
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2075
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2076
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2077
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2078
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2079
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2080
2081
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2082
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2083
should enable you to do::
2084
2085
[/home/user/project]
2086
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2087
push_location:policy = appendpath
2088
2089
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2090
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2091
(James Henstridge)
2092
2093
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2094
for each file. For example::
2095
2096
$ bzr status --short
2097
A foo
2098
A bar
2099
D baz
2100
? wooley
2101
2102
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2103
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2104
2105
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2106
2107
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2108
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2109
2110
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2111
2112
INTERNALS:
2113
2114
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2115
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2116
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2117
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2118
2119
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2120
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2121
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2122
2123
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2124
2125
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2126
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2127
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2128
(Alexander Belchenko)
2129
2130
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2131
Pool)
2132
2133
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2134
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2135
2136
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2137
2138
BUG FIXES:
2139
2140
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2141
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2142
2143
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2144
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2145
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2146
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2147
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2148
2149
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2150
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2151
2152
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2153
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2154
2155
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2156
matcher.
2157
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2158
2159
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2160
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2161
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2162
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2163
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2164
2165
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2166
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2167
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2168
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2169
2170
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2171
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2172
2173
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2174
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2175
2176
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2177
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
2192
2193
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2194
tree from a branch.
2195
(Daniel Silverstone)
2196
2197
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2198
operations are substantially faster.
2199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2200
2201
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2202
tree from some other url. For example:
2203
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2204
(Daniel Silverstone)
2205
2206
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2207
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2208
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2209
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2210
2211
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2212
(Andrew Bennetts)
2213
2214
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2215
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2216
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2217
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2218
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2219
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2220
2221
INTERNALS:
2222
2223
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2224
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2225
(Martin Pool)
2226
2227
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2228
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2229
(John Arbash Meinel)
2230
2231
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2232
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2233
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2234
(John Arbash Meinel)
2235
2236
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2237
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2238
2239
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2240
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2241
2242
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2243
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2244
Bennetts)
2245
2246
BUG FIXES:
2247
2248
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2249
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2250
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2251
2252
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2253
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2254
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2255
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2256
2257
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2258
2259
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2260
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2261
2262
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2263
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2264
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2265
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2266
2267
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2268
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2269
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2270
2271
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2272
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2273
them as full references rather than integers.
2274
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2275
2276
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2277
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2278
2279
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2280
2281
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.

2284
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2285
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2286
2287
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2288
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2289
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2290
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2291
2292
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2293
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2294
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2295
2296
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2297
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2298
2299
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2300
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2301
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2302
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2303
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2304
2305
TESTING:
2306
2307
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2308
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
2311
====================
2312
2313
INTERNALS:
2314
2315
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2316
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2317
(John Arbash Meinel)
2318
2319
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2320
=======================
2321
2322
IMPROVEMENTS:
2323
2324
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2325
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2326
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2327
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2328
2329
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2330
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2331
2332
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2333
2334
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2335
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2336
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2337
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2338
2339
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2340
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2341
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2342
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2343
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2344
2345
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2346
2347
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2348
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2349
2350
INTERNALS:
2351
2352
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2353
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2354
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2355
2356
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2357
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2358
(John Arbash Meinel)
2359
2360
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2361
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2362
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2363
2364
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2365
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2366
(Aaron Bentley)
2367
2368
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2369
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2370
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2371
2372
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2373
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2374
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2375
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2376
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2377
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2378
2379
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2380
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2381
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2382
(Robert Collins)
2383
2384
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2385
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2386
2387
BUG FIXES:
2388
2389
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2390
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2391
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2392
#63360, #66349)
2393
2394
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2395
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2396
2397
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2398
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2399
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2400
2401
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2402
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2403
2404
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2405
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2406
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2407
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2408
2409
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2410
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2411
2412
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2413
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2414
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2415
2416
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2417
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2418
2419
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2420
2421
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2422
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2423
#32054)
2424
2425
TESTING:
2426
2427
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2428
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2429
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2430
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2431
2432
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2433
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2434
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2435
2436
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

BUG FIXES:
2445
2446
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2447
2448
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2449
Arbash Meinel).
2450
2451
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2452
=======================
2453
2454
IMPROVEMENTS:
2455
2456
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2457
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2458
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2459
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2460
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2461
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2462
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2463
2464
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2465
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2466
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2467
2468
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2469
2470
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2471
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2472
2473
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2474
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2475
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2476
(Robert Collins)
2477
2478
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2479
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2480
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2481
(John Arbash Meinel)
2482
2483
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2484
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2485
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2486
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2487
Pool)
2488
2489
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2490
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2491
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2492
(John Arbash Meinel)
2493
2494
BUG FIXES:
2495
2496
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2497
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2498
2499
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2500
2501
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2502
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2503
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2504
2505
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2506
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2507
2508
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2509
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2510
2511
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2512
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2513
2514
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2515
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2516
2517
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2518
2519
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2520
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2521
2522
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2523
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2524
2525
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2526
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2527
2528
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2529
(John Arbash Meinel)
2530
2531
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2532
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2533
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2534
2535
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2536
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2537
2538
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2539
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2540
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2541
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2542
2543
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2544
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2545
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2546
2547
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2548
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2549
2550
PORTABILITY:
2551
2552
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2553
2554
INTERNALS:
2555
2556
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2557
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2558
(John Arbash Meinel)
2559
2560
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2561
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2562
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2563
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2564
2565
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2566
(Andrew Bennetts)
2567
2568
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2569
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2570
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2571
2572
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2573
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2574
2575
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2576
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2577
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2578
2579
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2580
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2581
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2582
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2583
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2584
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2585
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2586
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2587
caller to repeat their request.
2588
(John Arbash Meinel)
2589
2590
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2591
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2592
2593
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2594
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2595
2596
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2597
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2598
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2599
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2600
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2601
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2602
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2603
2604
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2605
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2606
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2607
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2608
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2609
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2610
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2611
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2612
(Robert Collins)
2613
2614
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2615
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2616
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2617
2618
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2619
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2620
2621
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2622
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2623
2624
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2625
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2626
2627
TESTING:
2628
2629
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2630
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2631
2632
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2633
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2634
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2635
2636
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2637
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2638
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2639
2640
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2641
====================
2642
2643
IMPROVEMENTS:
2644
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2645
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2646
2647
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2648
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2649
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2650
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2651
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2652
2653
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2654
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2655
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2656
2657
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2658
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2659
2660
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2661
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2662
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2663
2664
BUG FIXES:
2665
2666
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2667
2668
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2669
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2670
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2671
2672
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2673
2674
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2675
2676
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2677
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2678
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2679
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2680
2681
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2682
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2683
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2684
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2685
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2686
2687
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2688
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2689
2690
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2691
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2692
2693
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2694
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2695
2696
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2697
in handling of revision properties.
2698
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2699
2700
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2701
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2702
2703
INTERNALS:
2704
2705
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2706
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2707
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2708
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2709
(John Arbash Meinel)
2710
2711
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2712
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2713
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)

bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2716
=====================
2717
2718
SURPRISES:
2719
2720
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2721
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2722
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2723
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2724
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2725
a more conservative list than the old default.
2726
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2727
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2728
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2729
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2730
2731
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2732
to more locations than just branch locations.
2733
(Aaron Bentley)
2734
2735
IMPROVEMENTS:
2736
2737
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2738
revno:N:branch. For example,
2739
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2740
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2741
2742
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2743
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2744
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2745
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2746
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2747
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2748
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2749
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2750
#42517, #42514)
2751
2752
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2753
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2754
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2755
(Malone #3507)
2756
2757
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2758
(Alexander Belchenko)
2759
2760
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2761
2762
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2763
(Robert Collins).
2764
2765
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2766
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2767
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2768
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2769
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2770
(John Arbash Meinel)
2771
2772
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2773
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2774
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2775
grained analysis of performance.
2776
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2777
2778
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2779
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2780
2781
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2782
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2783
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2784
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2785
file. (Robert Collins).
2786
2787
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2788
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2789
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2790
2791
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2792
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2793
Matthieu Moy)
2794
2795
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2796
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2797
2798
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2799
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2800
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2801
the same way you would apply another branch.
2802
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2803
2804
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2805
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2806
2807
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2808
(Michael Ellerman)
2809
2810
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2811
(Aaron Bentley)
2812
2813
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2814
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2815
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2816
2817
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2818
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2819
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2820
2821
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2822
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2823
2824
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2825
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2826
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2827
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2828
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2829
2830
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2831
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2832
2833
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2834
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2835
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2836
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2837
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2838
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2839
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2840
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2841
2842
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2843
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2844
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2845
2846
BUG FIXES:
2847
2848
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2849
tests not to run.
2850
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2851
2852
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2853
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2854
2855
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2856
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2857
2858
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2859
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2860
2861
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2862
2863
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2864
(John Arbash Meinel)
2865
2866
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2867
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2868
2869
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2870
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2871
and y.
2872
2873
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2874
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2875
2876
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2877
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2878
2879
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2880
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2881
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2882
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2883
2884
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2885
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2886
2887
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2888
2889
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2890
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2891
2892
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2893
2894
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2895
2896
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2897
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2898
2899
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2900
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2901
2902
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2903
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2904
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2905
2906
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2907
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2908
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2909
2910
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2911
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2912
2913
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2914
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2915
2916
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2917
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2918
2919
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2920
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2921
2922
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2923
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2924
2925
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2926
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2927
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2928
2929
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2930
2931
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2932
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2933
2934
INTERNALS:
2935
2936
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2937
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2938
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2939
2940
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2941
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2942
2943
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2944
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2945
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2946
2947
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2948
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2949
2950
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2951
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2952
(Martin Pool)
2953
2954
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2955
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2956
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2957
2958
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2959
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2960
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2961
2962
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2963
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2964
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2965
2966
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2967
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2968
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2969
2970
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2971
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2972
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2973
2974
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2975
instead. (Robert Collins)
2976
2977
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

BUG FIXES:
2990
2991
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2992
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2993
2994
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2995
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2996
2997
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2998
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3006
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)

CHANGES:
3011
3012
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3013
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from

3015
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3016
3017
NEW FEATURES:
3018
3019
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3020
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3021
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3022
3023
INTERNALS:
3024
3025
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3026
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3027
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3028
3029
TESTING:
3030
3031
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
3032
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
3033
3034
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3035
===================
3036
3037
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3038
3039
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3040
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3041
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3042
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3043
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3044
will keep the same format.
3045
3046
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3047
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3048
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3049
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3050
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3051
3052
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3053
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3054
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3055
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3056
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3057
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3058
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3059
3060
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3061
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3062
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3063
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3064
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3065
3066
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3067
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3068
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3069
arrangement.
3070
3071
3072
IMPROVEMENTS:
3073
3074
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3075
convention. Paths now take the form::
3076
3077
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3078
or
3079
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3080
3081
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3082
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3083
3084
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3085
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3086
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3087
3088
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3089
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3090
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3091
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3092
3093
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3094
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3095
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3096
3097
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3098
3099
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3100
3101
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3102
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3103
commits::
3104
3105
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3106
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3107
| xargs bzr re-sign
3108
3109
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3110
3111
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3112
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3113
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3114
(Robert Collins)
3115
3116
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3117
3118
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3119
3120
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3121
'.moved'.
3122
3123
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3124
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3125
3126
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3127
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3128
Daniel Silverstone)
3129
3130
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3131
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3132
Martin Pool)
3133
3134
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3135
3136
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3137
3138
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3139
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3140
3141
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3142
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3143
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3144
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3145
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3146
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3147
3148
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3149
3150
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3151
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3152
(Robert Collins)
3153
3154
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3155
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3156
3157
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3158
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3159
3160
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3161
3162
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3163
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3164
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3165
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3166
specification by Martin Pool.
3167
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3168
3169
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3170
Belchenko)
3171
3172
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3173
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3174
3175
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3176
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3177
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3178
3179
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3180
3181
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3182
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3183
(Robert Collins)
3184
3185
CHANGES:
3186
3187
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3188
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3189
3190
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3191
3192
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3193
3194
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3195
(Olaf Conradi)
3196
3197
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3198
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3199
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3200
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3201
3202
INTERNALS:
3203
3204
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3205
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3206
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3207
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3208
3209
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3210
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3211
tried. (Martin Pool)
3212
3213
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3214
(Martin Pool)
3215
3216
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3217
3218
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3219
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3220
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3221
3222
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3223
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3224
3225
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3226
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3227
paths. (Robert Collins)
3228
3229
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3230
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3231
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3232
3233
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3234
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3235
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3236
3237
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3238
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3239
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3240
3241
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3242
(Olaf Conradi)
3243
3244
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3245
(Olaf Conradi)
3246
3247
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3248
3249
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3250
3251
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3252
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3253
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3254
(Robert Collins)
3255
3256
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3257
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3258
3259
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3260
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3261
check. (Robert Collins)
3262
3263
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3264
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3265
3266
TESTING:
3267
3268
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3269
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3270
3271
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3272
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3273
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3274
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3275
3276
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3277
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3278
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3279
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3280
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3281
3282
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3283
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3284
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3285
3286
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3287
3288
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3289
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3290

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
3292
==================
3293
3294
CHANGES:
3295
3296
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3297
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3298
3299
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3300
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3301
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3302
(Johan Rydberg)
3303
3304
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3305
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3306
3307
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3308
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3309
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3310
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3311
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3312
3313
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3314
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3315
used. (Robert Collins)
3316
3317
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3318
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3319
(James Henstridge)
3320
3321
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3322
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3323
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3324
3325
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3326
ignore list.
3327
3328
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3329
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3330
3331
IMPROVEMENTS:
3332
3333
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3334
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3335
3336
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3337
3338
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3339
3340
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3341
tree. (Robert Collins)
3342
3343
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3344
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3345
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3346
(Robert Collins)
3347
3348
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3349
that they be kept.
3350
3351
* Tweaks to short log printing
3352
3353
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3354
(Aaron Bentley)
3355
3356
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3357
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3358
3359
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3360
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3361
3362
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3363
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3364
3365
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3366
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3367
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3368
3369
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3370
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3371
3372
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3373
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3374
requests.
3375
3376
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3377
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3378
3379
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3380
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3381
3382
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3383
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3384
3385
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3386
(Denys Duchier)
3387
3388
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3389
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3390
3391
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3392
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3393
3394
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3395
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3396
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3397
3398
BUG FIXES:
3399
3400
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3401
3402
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3403
3404
* Error when run with -OO
3405
3406
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3407
(Martin Pool)
3408
3409
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3410
3411
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3412
3413
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3414
ignored by diff and status
3415
3416
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3417
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3418
3419
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3420
3421
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3422
3423
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3424
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3425
3426
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3427
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3428
3429
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3430
(Harald Meland)
3431
3432
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3433
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3434
3435
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3436
3437
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3438
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3439
3440
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3441
(Martin Pool)
3442
3443
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3444
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3445
3446
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3447
3448
TESTING:
3449
3450
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3451
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3452
3453
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3454
3455
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3456
3457
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3458
3459
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3460
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3461
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3462
3463
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3464
3465
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3466
(John Arbash Meinel)
3467
3468
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3469
3470
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3471
If adding a new test script please add that to
3472
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3473
3474
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3475
imported. (Martin Pool)
3476
3477
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3478
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3479
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3480
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3481
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3482
(Robert Collins)
3483
3484
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3485
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3486
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3487
3488
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3489
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3490
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3491
3492
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3493
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3494
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3495
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3496
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3497
(Robert Collins).
3498
3499
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3500
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3501
(Robert Collins).
3502
3503
INTERNALS:
3504
3505
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3506
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3507
3508
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3509
function. (Robert Collins)
3510
3511
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3512
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3513
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3514
3515
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3516
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3517
(Robert Collins)
3518
3519
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3520
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3521
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3522
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3523
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3524
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3525
version. (Robert Collins)
3526
3527
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3528
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3529
3530
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3531
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3532
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3533
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3534
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3535
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3536
3537
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3538
(Robert Collins)
3539
3540
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3541
3542
add()
3543
commit()
3544
move()
3545
rename_one()
3546
unknowns()
3547
3548
(Robert Collins)
3549
3550
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3551
3552
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3553
3554
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3555
Pool)
3556
3557
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3558
query method. (Robert Collins)
3559
3560
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3561
(Denys Duchier)
3562
3563
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3564
(Michael Ellerman)
3565
3566
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3567
(Michael Ellerman)
3568
3569
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3570
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3571
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3572
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3573
3574
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3575
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3576
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3577
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3578
3579
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3580
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3581

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
3583
==================
3584
3585
IMPROVEMENTS:
3586
3587
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3588
(John A Meinel)
3589
3590
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3591
conflicts.
3592
(Aaron Bentley)
3593
3594
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3595
a separator, not ':'.
3596
(Aaron Bentley)
3597
3598
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3599
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3600
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3601
3602
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3603
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3604
(Robert Collins)
3605
3606
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3607
has been added that suppresses all output.
3608
3609
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3610
Adams.
3611
3612
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3613
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3614
3615
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3616
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3617
3618
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3619
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3620
3621
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3622
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3623
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3624
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3625
3626
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3627
3628
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3629
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3630
3631
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3632
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3633
3634
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3635
output directory, if one was supplied.
3636
3637
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3638
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3639
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3640
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3641
3642
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3643
3644
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3645
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3646
3647
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3648
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3649
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3650
3651
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3652
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3653
3654
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3655
(Aaron Bentley)
3656
3657
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3658
3659
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3660
3661
TESTING:
3662
3663
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3664
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3665
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3666
3667
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3668
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3669
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3670
3671
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3672
is given. (Martin Pool)
3673
3674
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3675
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3676
file. (Robert Collins)
3677
3678
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3679
(Martin Pool)
3680
3681
INTERNALS:
3682
3683
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3684
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3685
representation. (Martin Pool).
3686
3687
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3688
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3689
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3690
3691
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3692
(Robert Collins)
3693
3694
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3695
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3696
Magnus Therning.
3697
3698
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3699
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3700
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3701
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3702
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3703
3704
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3705
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3706
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3707
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3708
python path. (Robert Collins)
3709
3710
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3711
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3712
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3713
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3714
3715
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3716
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3717
3718
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3719
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3720
(Robert Collins)
3721
3722
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3723
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3724
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3725
3726
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3727
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3728
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3729
3730
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3731
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3732
3733
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3734
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3735
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3736
(Robert Collins)
3737
3738
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3739
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3740
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3741
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3742
(Robert Collins)
3743
3744
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3745
(Robert Collins)
3746
3747
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3748
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3749
(Robert Collins)
3750
3751
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3752
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3753
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3754
3755
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3756
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3757
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3758
3759
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3760
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3761
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3762
3763
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3764
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3765
3766
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3767
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3768
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3769
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3770
caller. (Robert Collins)
3771
3772
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3773
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3774
(Robert Collins).
3775
3776
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3777
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3778
(Aaron Bentley)
3779
3780
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3781
3782
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3783
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3784
3785
BUG FIXES:
3786
3787
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3788
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3789
3790
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3791
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

3794
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3795
====================
3796
3797
BUG FIXES:
3798
3799
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3800
allow directories to be listed.
3801
3802
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3803
upgrading branch format.
3804
3805
PERFORMANCE:
3806
3807
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3808
3809
3810
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3811
==================
3812
3813
NOTES:
3814
3815
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3816
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3817
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3818
high-latency connections.
3819
3820
BUG FIXES:
3821
3822
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3823
Rob Weir.
3824
3825
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3826
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3827
3828
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3829
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3830
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3831
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3832
3833
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3834
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3835
3836
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3837
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3838
3839
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3840
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3841
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3842
3843
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3844
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3845
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3846
Robert Collins
3847
3848
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3849
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3850
3851
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3852
different partial views of history.
3853
3854
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3855
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3856
3857
IMPROVEMENTS:
3858
3859
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3860
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3861
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3862
3863
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3864
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3865
'bzr upgrade'.
3866
3867
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3868
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3869
3870
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3871
Niemeyer.
3872
3873
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3874
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3875
3876
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3877
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3878
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3879
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3880
3881
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3882
3883
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3884
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3885
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3886
3887
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3888
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3889
3890
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3891
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3892
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3893
3894
3895
INTERNALS:
3896
3897
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3898
for your viewing pleasure.
3899
3900
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3901
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3902
3903
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3904
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3905
handling of such circumstances.
3906
3907
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3908
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3909
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3910
3911
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3912
3913
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3914
we call them revisions not patches.
3915
3916
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3917
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3918
3919
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3920
giving the revision *of that file*.
3921
3922
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3923
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3924
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3925
3926
TESTING:
3927
3928
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3929
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3930
3931
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3932
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3933
3934
3935
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3936
====================
3937
3938
BUG FIXES:
3939
3940
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3941
3942
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3943
(Robert Collins).
3944
3945
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3946
3947
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3948
3949
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3950
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3951
3952
IMPROVEMENTS:
3953
3954
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3955
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3956
3957
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3958
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3959
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3960
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3961
Robey Pointer
3962
3963
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3964
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3965
3966
INTERNALS:
3967
3968
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3969
3970
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3971
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3972
3973
3974
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3975
====================
3976
3977
IMPROVEMENTS:
3978
3979
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3980
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3981
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3982
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3983
Michael Ellerman.
3984
3985
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3986
(Nir Soffer)
3987
3988
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3989
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3990
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3991
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3992
for the operating system is still tried.
3993
3994
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3995
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3996
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3997
3998
3999
INTERNALS:
4000
4001
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4002
4003
BUG FIXES:
4004
4005
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4006
4007
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4008
branch.
4009
4010
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4011
read.
4012
4013
4014
PORTABILITY:
4015
4016
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4017
4018
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

4020
4021
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4022
====================
4023
4024
NEW FEATURES:
4025
4026
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4027
help with intelligent shell completion.
4028
4029
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4030
4031
4032
ENHANCEMENTS:
4033
4034
* Much better merge support.
4035
4036
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4037
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4038
like emacs smerge.
4039
4040
4041
BUG FIXES:
4042
4043
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4044
mention revisions that are not present.
4045
4046
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4047
4048
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4049
4050
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4051
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4052
4053
4054
CHANGES:
4055
4056
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4057
4058
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4059
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4060
--help themselves.
4061
4062
4063
LIBRARY:
4064
4065
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4066
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4067
libraries.
4068

4070
4071
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4072
====================
4073
4074
NEW FEATURES:
4075
4076
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4077
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4078
4079
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4080
4081
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4082
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4083
4084
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4085
FOO.
4086
4087
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4088
4089
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4090
the Unix command.
4091
4092
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4093
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4094
4095
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4096
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4097
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4098
4099
4100
ENHANCEMENTS:
4101
4102
* Faster working tree operations.
4103
4104
4105
CHANGES:
4106
4107
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4108
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4109
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4110
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4111
4112
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4113
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4114
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4115
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4116
standard plugins directory.
4117
4118
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4119
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4120
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4121
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4122
4123
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4124
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4125
4126
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4127
disk.
4128
4129
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4130
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4131
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4132
4133
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4134
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4135
4136
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4137
line options must come before the command name because they
4138
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4139
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4140
it.
4141
4142
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4143
4144
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4145
is available with ``--short``.
4146
4147
4148
BUG FIXES:
4149
4150
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4159
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4160
4161
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4162
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4163
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4164
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4165
4166
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4167
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4168
with the ``--forward`` option.
4169
4170
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4171
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4172
field.
4173
4174
4175
ENHANCEMENTS:
4176
4177
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4178
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4179
4180
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4181
4182
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4183
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4184
4185
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4186
4187
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4188
either read or write mode.
4189
4190
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4191
4192
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4193
affected that file.
4194
4195
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4196
4197
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4198
suggested by LarstiQ.
4199
4200
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4201
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4202
4203
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4204
a filename.
4205
4206
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4207
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4208
4209
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4210
haven't changed since the previous time.
4211
4212
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4213
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4214
4215
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4216
4217
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4218
4219
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4220
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4221
4222
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4223
options through to an external GNU diff.
4224
4225
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4226
their contents.
4227
4228
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4229
from a branch.
4230
4231
4232
BUG FIXES:
4233
4234
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4235
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4236
4237
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4238
metacharacters.
4239
4240
4241
TESTING:
4242
4243
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4244
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4245
the tests.
4246
4247
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4248
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4249
4250
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4251
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4252
4253
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4254
under a different version.
4255
4256
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4257
4258
4259
INTERNAL:
4260
4261
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4262
4263
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4264
Scott James Remnant.
4265
4266
* Better help messages for many commands.
4267
4268
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4269
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4270
4271
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4272
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4273
4274
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4275
4276
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4277
4278
* New AtomicFile class.
4279
4280
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4281
4282
4283
PORTABILITY:
4284
4285
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4286
2.4 is now only recommended.

bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4290
=====================
4291
4292
ENHANCEMENTS:
4293
4294
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4295
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4296
4297
* More default ignore patterns.
4298
4299
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4300
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4301
4302
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4303
4304
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4305
by Jason Diamon.
4306
4307
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4308
4309
4310
CHANGES:
4311
4312
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4313
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4314
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4315
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4316
there are DNS problems.
4317
4318
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4319
4320
4321
BUG FIXES:
4322
4323
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4324
4325
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4326
4327
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4328
trailing newlines properly.
4329
4330
4331
INTERNAL:
4332
4333
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4334
Matt Brubeck.
4335
4336
* More tests in test.sh.
4337
4338
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4339
directory and delete it when done.
4340
4341
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4342
4343
4344
PORTABILITY:
4345
4346
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4347
Bennetts.
4348
4349
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4350
from QuantumG.

4362
4363
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
4364
and/or directory.
4365
4366
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
4367
directory.
4368
4369
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
4370
4371
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
4372
4373
CHANGES:
4374
4375
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4376
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4377
will do for now.)
4378
4379
PORTABILITY:
4380
4381
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
4382
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4383
Nielsen.
4384
4385
INTERNAL:
4386

4403
===================================
4404
4405
ENHANCEMENTS:
4406
4407
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
4408
4409
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
4410
rather than replacing it.
4411
4412
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
4413
4414
* More help topics.
4415
4416
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
4417
branch.
4418
4419
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
4420
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
4421
4422
* Performance improvements.
4423
4424
* New global --profile option.
4425
4426
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
4427
the root directory only.
4428
4429
4430

4440
committing to stores.
4441
4442
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
4443
4444
BUG FIXES:
4445

4447
4448
PORTABILITY:
4449
4450
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
4451
installation easier.
4452
4453
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
4454
supported).
4455
4456
4457
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
4458
